Adorable great horned #owl rescued from sticky, deadly trap
The center hopes that the bird's ordeal serves as a warning about the dangers of #gluetraps — which are banned in nations such as England, Iceland and New Zealand, as well as in the cities of West Hollywood and Ojai.
"We are begging the public not to use glue traps because it traps lots of other #wildlife besides the intended pests.Even for those pests it's a terrible way to die."

Yahoo News · Adorable great horned owl rescued from sticky, deadly trap. Will it fly again?By Clara Harter

So, can I just say I think I’m experiencing an art-making groove that I really love yet never expected.

I’m in this gloriously lucky position where I get suggestions for subjects from visitors who visit my art booth at the weekly street fair/festival that I’ve been doing for the last couple months.

And because I do livestreaming for six hours a week, I have a carved out time to make art. Lately, I’ve been doing these suggestions.

But they’re not commissions. They’re not requests. They’re subject matter suggestions from patrons who may or may not come back to buy them but are genuinely interested in seeing me succeed so they think I’d do well with a specific bird or animal or other idea.

I’ve take a handful of them. And done them. And sold a LOT of items featuring those suggestions. Sometimes they circle back to buy them, sometimes not.

But I’m realizing these aren’t “fans”. These are connections. I’ve had several folks come back to see me just to visit. Just to say hello. And sometimes they buy the stuff they prompted. Sometimes they don’t.

But it’s because I respond, because I believe in their ideas, and they see me doing the work for others, it’s *real*. The relationships are authentic. They live here. With me. They’re neighbors. They’re not anonymous.

And THAT is why I’m doing this. Relationships. Art that connects people. Art that makes human links.

So. A request this last week: A Northern Spotted Owl.

Bei uns wirbt die #FDP mit „Sicherheit“. That‘s the message. Das ist ernsthaft der komplette Text, dazu ein Bachlauf als Bebilderung. Schon amüsant, wenn man überlegt, dass die FDP jede soziale Sicherheit am liebsten begraben will. Asylhilfe, Bürgergeld, Integrationsmaßnahmen usw. Nicht zu vergessen, dass sie die relative Sicherheit vor Auswirkungen der Klimakrise völlig aufgegeben hatten.

@EUCommission How about this:

  • You introduce €1 (Antique / Classical Era) &
  • €2 (Medieval Era) banknotes

as well as

  • reintroduce €500 (modern) bills and consider even issuing €1000 (futuristic) bills amidst #inflation.

In return you can phase-out €1 & €2 coins.

Pretty shure #Rhine, #Danube, #Olives, #Eagle and #Owl would make excellent motives.
